A Pakistani driver was dramatically rescued from a truck that had fallen over during torrential rain in Al Qauba, west of Bisha.

In the video, shared by Saudi Gazette, the rescuers pulled the Pakistan expatriate out of a flooded road with the help of a rope, as his truck was stuck in the middle.

He can be seen jumping into the muddy waters from the corner of the truck, tied to the rope. Rescuers are then seen tugging at the rope as the man is pulled ashore.
